[Spurs9]

Bryn Forbes the face of the Spurs :hungry:

[Leetonidas]

Finally an actual spurs broadcast

[ismael-robert]

Who's out/inactive

[Mr. Body]

Who's out/inactive

Luka Samanic.

[Ocotillo]

Who's out/inactive

Lonnie is back, Aminu is out with respiratory infection, Tre Jones still out with ankle, Collins still out

[KobesAchilles]

Forbes with the start

[R. DeMurre]

The one thing this preseason has almost guaranteed is that Forbes will not be lacking in minutes this year.

[Sugus]

The one thing this preseason has almost guaranteed is that Forbes will not be lacking in minutes this year.

Fvck!

[TDomination]

Forbes with the start

for reals or sarcasm?

[LeBowen]

for reals or sarcasm?

We all knew it was coming. The sooner we accept it, the better.

Bryn is the tank commander this season and he won't be denied his starting spot.

[playblair]

people who hate Forbes are the same people who praised patty mills........make it make sense

[C-Dub]

Because Patty Thrillz would at least draw a charge for an offensive foul on the opposition and he could be a pest on defense even though he was not a good defensive player. Forbes not so much.

[heyheymymy]

I just don't see how the spurs have the distractions the bucks had to pull focus away from Bryn which he needs open looks and a minimal role to be a plus.

Then you think, if white or any guard has injury issues it brings Bryn even more to the surface of exposure.

If the spurs can use him in a limited role as spot scoring and if Bryn can keep developing or at least refining then it might work

[playblair]

Because Patty Thrillz would at least draw a charge for an offensive foul on the opposition and he could be a pest on defense even though he was not a good defensive player. Forbes not so much.
where did this take forbes cat play defense come from? i blame timvp for that narrative.........

[KobesAchilles]

for reals or sarcasm?
Sorry I didn’t do blue font. My bad

[KobesAchilles]

where did this take forbes cat play defense come from? i blame timvp (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=8) for that narrative.........
Some advanced stat bullshit that listed him 250 outta 250 in defense. Those are never accurate anyways

[raybies]

Great start for white

[raybies]

Houston looks like a dumpster fire right now...

[Robz4000]

It was said before, but the Spurs are gonna struggle getting calls (even moreso than usual).

[Robz4000]

Houston looks like a dumpster fire right now...

What does that make the Spurs tbh?

[PhantomDashCam]

This team gives off sneaky 2018 Clipper vibes.
I’m still 100% behind a DJ/DW backcourt pairing.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Doug is going to be solid this year for this team.

[raybies]

What does that make the Spurs tbh?
They settled down. But dam LMA would be perfect for a team like this. We need a post presence... Our shooters aren't good enough to play like this, at least in the starting lineup

[GB20]

I hope Keldon does not loose confidence on his shots. he needs to keep shooting the ball.

[raybies]

Would love yak to try to play out of the post.. he use to have a post game in college... he's big enough to back down most bigs...

[raybies]

KJ got tired of missing open J's and resorted to bulling to the rim..

[raybies]

DJ looks really good. Could definitely hit the 20 point club for the season...

[jermaine]

Clearly Primo is G-League bound

[PhantomDashCam]

Damn KJ. We might of waived the wrong 2019 pick… :lol

[jermaine]

No Young

[raybies]

It appears Thad is 3rd string... on this rehearsal game

[GB20]

Clearly Primo is G-League bound
with Pop in charge, that is for sure.

[raybies]

Bryn not in yet either...

[raybies]

Dam that Lonnie shot was sweet af

[raybies]

Christian Wood look like Wilt the stilt out here mayne LUL

[Robz4000]

I would say the Spurs are missing a lot of bunnies but I'm not confident even those are easy shots for this Spurs team.

[jermaine]

Vasell gotta step up

[widowmaker]

Why is derrick playing like shit? He should be ready for this by now.

[raybies]

Bruh fkn drew man... lol

[SpurPadre]

Why is derrick playing like shit? He should be ready for this by now.

Dude is overrated AF by Spurs fans here.

[raybies]

Lonnie doing pretty well tonight

[Truckules]

Lonnie held the ball on a 5v4.

[raybies]

loved Lonnie's composure there. Drew really making himself felt on the bench; perfect energy big.

[raybies]

Our bench makes more sense as a unit then the starters tbh

How do you get KJ going? He needs to learn a move, everyone knows his game already.

[widowmaker]

This team doesn’t look as bad as people said they would be. Kj needs to drive the ball. He’ll get the calls.

[raybies]

Bryn Champion starts the second

[Mr. Body]

Lonnie held the ball on a 5v4.

Last shot. It was the right move.

[NASpurs]

I haven't been keeping up with the Rockets. Is Chandler Parsons still on the rosters? How's Steve Francis nowadays? Does Yao still have that f'ed up foot? Thanks.

[Mr. Body]

This team with a bad hole at the 4. I would say 'damn Samanic,' but he was terrible on the boards anyway.

[SpurPadre]

KJ not showing why he belonged on the Team USA roster. Come on, bruh. Draymond and KD propped you up for a reason now prove it.

[widowmaker]

Here goes forbes

[NASpurs]

I can tell that Forbes' defensive tenacity is infectious.

[raybies]

I don't know why Doug didn't let yak establish himself.. if he doubles then you have a open shot anyways.. the result a t/o

[Robz4000]

:lol people complaining about White but he's filling up the boxscore

[widowmaker]

Derrick is stinking

[Mr. Body]

Huh. McDermot is a pretty sweet passer.

[widowmaker]

Nice as soon as i call him out he makes shit happen

[raybies]

This team is very unrefined but I think we could at the very least be solid. To be competitive with better teams though we need to figure out how to stop the bleeding when we can't score.

I still think we are gonna surprise a lot of ppl. The kids have a lot of growing up to do though, and the "right" buttons need to be found.

[NASpurs]

Derrick is stinking

Is today opposite day? Did I miss the memo?

[raybies]

Huh. McDermot is a pretty sweet passer.

I thought the same as well. Imagine a player like him in our system during the beautiful game era... he would've been lethal.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

The half court offense is gonna be the main issue with this squad. The defense I think is gonna be solid

[raybies]

Pop couldn't help but put Forbes and McD together... quickly puts Vasoline in.

[raybies]

Pouty Mills with the drive :o

[Robz4000]

:lmao Forms

[poopbox]

Dejounte :hungry:

[raybies]

that's why you don't give up on the play...

[NASpurs]

How can you shoot an airball from the free throw line. Shit is beyond me.

[raybies]

I seriously believe Yak got some untapped potential in the post. He was highly praised going into the draft for his post game if I'm not mistaken... I'd love for him to get this p/t taking the mismatch and work from there.

[Robz4000]

This team is only gonna win like 20 games tbh.

[raybies]

Swat Poetl?? :O

[raybies]

This team is only gonna win like 20 games tbh.

nah we are missing guys...

[NASpurs]

Golden Johnson sounds like someone who does porn.

[raybies]

Vassel got some top tier d man

[raybies]

Golden Johnson sounds like someone who does porn.
exactly :smokin

[raybies]

Drew closing?

[NASpurs]

Didn't Eubanks tear the Rockets in a game last year?

[raybies]

LETS GOO WHITE

[Robz4000]

nah we are missing guys...

Who are they missing that is going to play significant minutes? :lol Tre Jones? This team will be funner to watch compared to last year but they will struggle consistently to get 100 points imo. They should just embrace being an elite defensive team but Pop will fuck things up overplaying Forms/McDipshit to try to generate more offense.

[dbestpro]

Luca has got to feel good he got out of this mad house.

[raybies]

Bruh fkn drew.. he really outplaying Poetl in his minutes tonight and yak hasn't been bad at all. Drew ain't soft though... that's the biggest difference.

White and Luka.. but white seems to be showing up now...

[NASpurs]

Luca has got to feel good he got out of this mad house.

Says a lot about him if he got cut in this God forsaken team.

[NASpurs]

The Hype Squad makes me want to die.

[widowmaker]

Eubanks is legit.

[HankChinaski]

Bruh fkn drew.. he really outplaying Poetl in his minutes tonight and yak hasn't been bad at all. Drew ain't soft though... that's the biggest difference.

Yak plays with more control so it doesn't seem like he is doing as much. Drew is playing with a lot more energy and hustle that is much easier to catch. My favorite traits about Drew is his constant hustle and scrappiness.

[widowmaker]

Eubanks should start

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

If Luka gave the energy Eubanks gives night in and night out, the guy would be a solid NBA rotation player.

gotta love the guys energy

[widowmaker]

Bring it back with 2 bigs starting

[Robz4000]

White and Luka.. but white seems to be showing up now...

:lmao

[raybies]

McD let's get it

[HankChinaski]

ohh sheeeeyt. Deep three from McDerms

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

McDermott is going to have a career high scoring (barring injuries) season with out guys this season

[Mr. Body]

Gonna be a long year for the Rockets. Their inside defense is mush.

[HankChinaski]

At least the spurs lineup out there is collapsing inside the paint on Houstons guys now.

[raybies]

Yak plays with more control so it doesn't seem like he is doing as much. Drew is playing with a lot more energy and hustle that is much easier to catch. My favorite traits about Drew is his constant hustle and scrappiness.

Yeah you right on that point. Yak is much better then he lets on though. When he is aggressive, he's very good.

[raybies]

Yeah no shot shengun gets that call.. Murray ain't that big man.. that was a flop

[Robz4000]

Still too early obviously, but Sengun might be the worst defensive big in NBA history.

[Leetonidas]

This big scrub is the guy Spurs fans wanted at 12? :lol

[HankChinaski]

Ha. They just dared him to shoot.

[Mr. Body]

DeJounte is All-Star capable if the team wins enough games.

[Robz4000]

Glad to see White and Murray play well at the same time.

[raybies]

Pretty wild first half but so far it's been impressive. When our team has momentum it's really good and vice versa. As a lot of ppl have thought how it might play out.

Fun game though so far.

[HankChinaski]

That shot by Murray an odd decision.

Yak with the easy block as McDerms stays on his feet and in front of Sengun. Great way to finish the half.

[NASpurs]

Glad to see White and Murray play well at the same time.

Yeah exactly my thoughts. It always feels like one plays well while the other sucks a big one.

[emanueldavidginobili]

DJ has supreme confidence right now, the only one with that confidence on this entire team tbh.

[LakerHater]

Hated seeing Murray shoot but now he's hittin & hittin 3s!!!

[itzsoweezee]

What a breath of fresh air that first half was. No washed vets gobbling up the clock with trash offense, players playing with effort on defense, Bryn limited to 5 minutes. I’m looking forward to this season

[Mr. Body]

Pretty wild first half but so far it's been impressive. When our team has momentum it's really good and vice versa. As a lot of ppl have thought how it might play out.

I mean, stupid posters shit on Pop, but the Spurs are clearly waaaaaay better coached than the Rox.

[raybies]

Considering where DJ started in his career he seems to have done a 180. He looks like a very competent pg.

He use to be so out of control... Now he's been running a pretty tight ship.

[jbspurs]

Houston playing their rookies and learning . While our rookies are buried on the bench.

[Mr. Body]

Considering where DJ started in his career he seems to have done a 180. He looks like a very competent pg.

I said it upthread, but if the Spurs are somewhere in the mix, Murray is in the All-Star conversation to me. In a world where Brandon fucking Ingram gets a spot on a worse team, Murray should be there if he keeps it up.

[raybies]

That shot by Murray an odd decision.

Yak with the easy block as McDerms stays on his feet and in front of Sengun. Great way to finish the half.

Yeah it was kind of odd, but I like that he took responsibility to do that... he obviously needs more work as a closer. I think that possession needed at least one more pass.

[Mr. Body]

Houston playing their rookies and learning . While our rookies are buried on the bench.

I don't know what the Rockets are learning. There's no sets, nothing, they just kind of move around and screen and jack up shots.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

What a breath of fresh air that first half was. No washed vets gobbling up the clock with trash offense, players playing with effort on defense, Bryn limited to 5 minutes. I’m looking forward to this season

i also enjoyed the great effort on defense and the ball/player movement on offense by the squad.

2 things I think that will be issues with our team is giving up a lot of offensive rebounds and having issues with guys getting easier looks in the set offense throughout the regular season though.

[HankChinaski]

The big adjustment it looked like after the 1st quarter going into the 2nd quarter was the spurs collapsing the paint when anyone wearing red touched the ball. Really helped ease the pain of the rebound disparity that spurs were getting killed on in the first.

[Robz4000]

I said it upthread, but if the Spurs are somewhere in the mix, Murray is in the All-Star conversation to me. In a world where Brandon fucking Ingram gets a spot on a worse team, Murray should be there if he keeps it up.

Ingram is a former Laker tbh, so he gets a lot of pull with the casual fans.

[PhantomDashCam]

That was a fun half. DJ/DW doing a great job distributing combo guard duties between each another.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Considering where DJ started in his career he seems to have done a 180. He looks like a very competent pg.

He use to be so out of control... Now he's been running a pretty tight ship.
He was raw as they get coming out of Washington. Everyone used to make fun of him about instagram baller, this kid works his ass off.

[raybies]

Oh yeah 100 percent. Should he put the numbers and the Spurs are somewhere in playoff contention I have no doubt he gets the selection.

Assuming the D is as good as most think, he could also get a All NBA D nod as well...

[HankChinaski]

Yeah it was kind of odd, but I like that he took responsibility to do that... he obviously needs more work as a closer. I think that possession needed at least one more pass.

He had an opportunity to swing it back over to the top of the key and have that man swing it to the corner or wait reset of the pick, but eh oh well. I agree it is good to see him wanting to be that guy.

[raybies]

He was raw as they get coming out of Washington. Everyone used to make fun of him about instagram baller, this kid works his ass off.

Yeah he's been so much more quiet now a days, but I mean he did talk a lot, but he also put in the work. He looks like a legit Star thus far in preseason. Superstar or not having a star in the boat is a good way to start.

[spurraider21]

good ol spurstalk game threads

reading through it i figured we were getting hammered. check the score and we're up 16 at the half :lol

[raybies]

He had an opportunity to swing it back over to the top of the key and have that man swing it to the corner or wait reset of the pick, but eh oh well. I agree it is good to see him wanting to be that guy.

Yeah that's what I saw. Think Dougie was up top...

[Robz4000]

good ol spurstalk game threads

reading through it i figured we were getting hammered. check the score and we're up 16 at the half :lol

:lol White's been getting shit on despite looking like the best player on the court for most of the game

[raybies]

:lol White's been getting shit on despite looking like the best player on the court for most of the game
nah he was ass the first quarter not sure you were watching... he closed really strong though. I believe he played early second and late second. He really got it going there.

[HankChinaski]

:lol White's been getting shit on despite looking like the best player on the court for most of the game

I still on the side of him just needing minutes to get back into rhythm.

[Mr. Body]

White has been playing well, though clearly he's uncertain about his shot. His passing was way off, however. Trying things that clearly weren't there.

[heyheymymy]

Pretty impressive first half

Great to see Eubanks just going monster on his shift.

[raybies]

Rebounds have been a problem tonight apparently. Got outrebounded by like 17 there...

Need more ppl to crash the boards. We'll see if the is a persistent problem.

[Robz4000]

nah he was ass the first quarter not sure you were watching... he closed really strong though. I believe he played early second and late second. He really got it going there.

:lol the only problem was his shot, the rest of his game looked great in the first quarter

[HankChinaski]

1st possesion of the half is a mess. Yak should have planted further down low towards the baseline. Murray waited to long to make his move.

[raybies]

Dam, my man Murray.

[Robz4000]

Rockets gonna get the second pick again tbh.

[raybies]

:lol the only problem was his shot, the rest of his game looked great in the first quarter

Nah, I believe he was hesitating as well... he got a lot more comfortable in the second though.

[HankChinaski]

You know McDerms gets that next shot down when he gets that little set skip into place and quick hop an pop for the 3

[Robz4000]

I still on the side of him just needing minutes to get back into rhythm.

Same here. Gonna come down to health for him imo. If he somehow stays healthy, Murray plays at a high level, and they thrive alongside each other the team can reach a play-in spot.

[heyheymymy]

Lovin this buckets guy. Out there running routes like a WR, great release, and pretty good passing eye

Can't wait for McDMT to hit that hyperspace game where he goes like 5-9 or 6-11 from 3PT

[jbspurs]

I don't know what the Rockets are learning. There's no sets, nothing, they just kind of move around and screen and jack up shots. A lot to learn especially when your team is playing bad.

[Mr. Body]

Jalen Green already getting superstar calls

[Mr. Body]

I wonder if the Rockets have ever held a practice.

[raybies]

Dam that setup by DJ was very advanced...

[HankChinaski]

Man I wasn't sure if Murray was going to make it across the court to feed that to McDerms there for a second.

[spurs10]

Well good to know we won't be last in the West!

[raybies]

McD could have a career year this year lol.. he gonna have a field day out here...

[HankChinaski]

Vassell should have just used his body for the layup.

[raybies]

Vassell is very noticeable with his D... His team defense is top tier. I still think he tops out as a 3/d maybe slasher role.

[heyheymymy]

Shit McDMT is 4-9 from 3PM tonight! We already in hyperspace lol

Guess I mean more like 8 -10 threes on 40-45% or so

[HankChinaski]

Vassell rushed that shot after going up to save that pass.

[raybies]

The flow of the game seems a lot better this year with the rule changes... doesn't feel like the ball is being stopped every 5 seconds...

[HankChinaski]

nice screen for the mid range.

[Robz4000]

:lol these calls

[poopbox]

Pop the only person on the spurs sidelines not wearing a mask :lol

[raybies]

Poetl red af... LUL someone must of punched him in the china... Angry Poetl is the best Poetl though...

[Chomag]

I guess Pop forgot that Primo was still on this team? At least he is getting lots of rest for that old 18 year old body...

[heyheymymy]

Yeah the lead is steady enough to throw primo in for an extended look

No reason to wait for the 4th, hopefully primo does get his victory cigar shift tonight

[GB20]

How about Pop play primo. It’s preseason

[HankChinaski]

How is that still a loose ball foul. Yak has his back to Houston Jersey and Yak gets bowled over.

[KDKSpurs24]

Keldon doesn’t really have any scoring moves.. it’s disappointing. I hope he develops some over the course of the season

[Mr. Body]

Jesus was that a clownworld call on Poeltl.

[HankChinaski]

Man Vassell with the steal and the hustle back to almost finish that play.

[heyheymymy]

Lol poeltl gets tackled for the foul?

[raybies]

Vassell definitely a defensive playmaker...

[raybies]

Eubanks is a legend man. I love this guy LUL

[HankChinaski]

White with the hesitation floater and the bounce.

[raybies]

This unit right here... just a very balanced bench unit... where Lonnie though?

[heyheymymy]

TRUEBANKS with his prints all over this game

[raybies]

Bruh, I love Vas game man. He needs a Kawhi like role tbh. He got game for sure.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit Fvck, stop forcing up shots.

[poopbox]

Forbes tries something that isn't an open 3 and travels :lol

[raybies]

KJ been non existent tonight.

[raybies]

Is Lonnie injured or... why did Bryn get his rotation???

[raybies]

We really have too many ppl who "need" minutes...

[jbspurs]

I guess Pop forgot that Primo was still on this team? At least he is getting lots of rest for that old 18 year old body... Load management :lol

[HankChinaski]

Forbes just keeps forcing the wrong angle and keeps missing his man sliding into the paint to dump it off into and instead forces up awkward shots.

[raybies]

OMG that vas put back was crazy... gaht dam

[HankChinaski]

Damn that was a strong putback by Vassell.

[Robz4000]

Fvck!

[raybies]

I can't believe Spurs youth wasn't on anyone's big board for most talented. We got some serious talent on the squad. Just have to put the right pieces together...

[Mr. Body]

Vassell gaining confidence in what he can do on the court. Great to see.

[poopbox]

Lonnie hasn't played in awhile...is he going to get cut to :cry

Did he not hustle back on a fastbreak :depressed

[raybies]

No matter the standings this team will be exponentially more entertaining to watch...

[HankChinaski]

Murray needs to be careful with his behind the back dribbles. He continues to have to look for the ball because he loses his handle on it.

[raybies]

WTF DREW LUL still love this guy though

[raybies]

Still very impressive.

[GB20]

Time to put the rookie in Pop.

[LakerHater]

He jumped into Drew!

[Mr. Body]

Time to put the rookie in Pop.

Jock Landale is not available.

[HankChinaski]

Pop is sitting Lonnie because he remembered Jock is still out on a concussion.

[raybies]

Dam if Vas gonna be playing like this, he is a much better fit for the SL tbh... I mean he is showing some elite defensive playmaking ability... could be mostly dumb decisions by the Rockets... but still. He's been very impressive and he hasn't required the ball either. The reason I think he would also be better for the SL is so the offense can be more focused with White and Murray. Regardless he needs more minutes.

KJ needs a go to move.

[NASpurs]

Why do the Rockets have like 40 assistant coaches for such a shitty team. Look at all those dudes in white.

[HankChinaski]

They need a set play for keldon. Tonight he has had to tried to create on the fly.

[raybies]

Why do the Rockets have like 40 assistant coaches for such a shitty team. Look at all those dudes in white.
the head coach looks like he was hired from a high school

[HankChinaski]

That was a great play by white.

[raybies]

They need a set play for keldon. Tonight he has had to tried to create on the fly.
Yeah he needs something... which is why I think with his size he needs to get in the post and start developing a mid range post etc.. He doesn't have the step to beat ppl off the dribble and he doesn't have the playmaking to orchestrate or really the jumper at this point to be a knock down shooter... just really needs to learn to bully ppl on the post...

[raybies]

Don't like Bryn in right now for this line up or situation...

[HankChinaski]

That was a nice outlet to White for the corner.

[raybies]

Murray has been so impressive... just didn't see this kind of vision from him before..

[raybies]

Murray legit playing like an All Star...

he definitely appears to be extremely gassed though..

[HankChinaski]

Bryn having a off night from downtown tonight.

[XDT76]

DjM and White both scoring 20 pts.

[GB20]

Don't like Bryn in right now for this line up or situation...
Primo should be in his place tbh.

[raybies]

Bryn takes Lonnie's minutes then proceeds to shit the bed... hopefully Pop doesn't make us hate Bryn again...

[raybies]

DjM and White both scoring 20 pts.
Just a very ideal occurrence for our prospects this year...

[HankChinaski]

Murray legit playing like an All Star...

he definitely appears to be extremely gassed though..

Well I'm NOT puttin my hand down for some fapps yet, they should look good against this Rockets team.

[HankChinaski]

Two too many passes on that possession.

[raybies]

Bro wtf is Bryn doing right now... gah dam.. you are a shooter bro.

[raybies]

Prime Time

[HankChinaski]

Yak needs a to learn to pivot baseline instead of inside to his left.

[Mr. Body]

Bryn takes Lonnie's minutes then proceeds to shit the bed... hopefully Pop doesn't make us hate Bryn again...

I don't think Forbes is playing that poorly. His shots just aren't falling.

[Chomag]

Pop can't find minutes to develop Primo but he sure seems to find minutes for Forbes.

[HankChinaski]

Wow KJ with a hail mary at the rim.

[pad300]

This big scrub is the guy Spurs fans wanted at 12? :lol

I'm catching up here in the middle of the 4th, but Sengun has 15 and 12 (and 3 blocks 1 assist and 1 steal) in 25 minutes as an 18 year old, as a big on a team that has shit point guard play...

[raybies]

Primo has showed up every game and still relegated to the deep deep bench.. just crazy..

[HankChinaski]

That 3 was just gutsy. I am not a fan of Bryn on other areas on the court but that release is smooth on his jumper.

[spurs1990]

Spurs could win the world's championship

[raybies]

Pop can't find minutes to develop Primo but he sure seems to find minutes for Forbes.

For sure... Lonnie, Thad, Aminu may be getting a pink slip soon...

Lonnie just seems like the odd man out... I don't even think he played that bad today. I don't understand why he wasn't in.

[Mr. Body]

I'm catching up here in the middle of the 4th, but Sengun has 15 and 12 (and 3 blocks 1 assist and 1 steal) in 25 minutes as an 18 year old, as a big on a team that has shit point guard play...

Sengun looks really talented. He's smaller than you'd want. I still think he's a PF. But he looks like a very nice player. Got on the wrong team, however.

[HankChinaski]

Spurs could win the world's championship

Yeah, if every game was against the Rockets.

[HankChinaski]

Wieskamp just wasn't set properly that one.

[HankChinaski]

Almost a nice feed to Vassell.

I'm catching up here in the middle of the 4th, but Sengun has 15 and 12 (and 3 blocks 1 assist and 1 steal) in 25 minutes as an 18 year old, as a big on a team that has shit point guard play...

He's been historically awful on defense. If he can just become mediocre on that end he'll be a great player.

Definitely looked better later on, he was stinking it up to begin the game (when the comment was made)

Primo forced an error was saved then makes the nice feed to Keita.

[PhantomDashCam]

Damn Primo… Woah

Jesus Primo

[PhantomDashCam]

Yeah, I’ll have a side of fries with my Primo crow. Thanks!

[KobesAchilles]

Is Walker their being a Spur? Seems like we probably won’t re-sign him

[Robz4000]

:lol gonna suck when Primo gets stuck in Austin all season

[lefty20]

Crafty af

[raybies]

OMG

[HankChinaski]

Primo got lazy there with his handle. But that touch high off the glass was beautiful.

[raybies]

our best player is doing mop up duty... LUL

[jbspurs]

Primo should be in his place tbh. :bobo

I think it’s ultimately what would best for him and the team long term. He could have a Keldon like impact though when the G league season finishes.

[spurs1990]

Just one game but Spurs don't have a weakness

[Mr. Body]

Popovich treats Primo like a big ego guy who needs to be broken down.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I love a blowout win.
Did Pop let Tall Luka play?

[XDT76]

For sure... Lonnie, Thad, Aminu may be getting a pink slip soon...

Lonnie just seems like the odd man out... I don't even think he played that bad today. I don't understand why he wasn't in.


He just came back from a hammy, probably don't feel good thus sit out to rest it a bit more.

[raybies]

Bruh.. Primo didn't have one bad game all preseason, scrimmage etc... We haven't had a player in recent memory put up the display he showed this camp... Pop has to know he needs to make room for him...

I think Lonnie may be gone. He doesn't fit in the timeline as far as contracts go and hasn't done enough to risk paying him big should he show just enough...

To me, Thad, Lonnie and Aminu may be out. Only two need to go if one is brought in... Thad probably couldn't get a first by himself but him and Lonnie should 100 percent. We need some depth on the four though.

[heyheymymy]

Primo adding some sample size tonight can't wait to watch him develop in silver n black

[tim_duncan_fan]

Jesus Primo

The Savior.

He is injured. He isn't out of the rotation.

Em, rebounding looks like it could be a huge issue, especially on the defensive side and where do you find offense when the game is on the line or when you need a bucket to stop the bleeding so to speak. Other wise I agree.

[HankChinaski]

I am inbetween 50/50 with Primo getting some burn in Austin.

There are obvious mechanics to his game that he could benefit from playing heavy minutes in Austin working on.

ON THE OTHER HAND. He could fill a need getting minutes with this roster. He is obvious talent that just hits the eye test when he is on the court.


I think Aminu gets the cut.

I also think they front office is going to see what kinda deals they can get for Lonnie and Thad trade combination. (yeah, i don't much but they should look anyway.)

I think this team plays better without Lonnie. He does provide a little insurance if there is an injury but the team is already guard heavy.
